Plat split proposed for Dix Phase 2 so construction can proceed while FEMA LOMR is reviewed
Summary
Dix representatives told staff they propose splitting Phase 2 into 2A (50 lots outside the floodplain) and 2B to allow recording of lots outside the floodplain while a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is in FEMA review; staff will send the plat to planning commission and the county for review.
A representative from the Dix project told Harrisville staff that Phase 2 of the Dix subdivision is being reconfigured into a Phase 2A and 2B so lots in the floodplain are removed from the first recorded plat. The 2A plat would contain roughly 50 lots located outside the regulatory floodplain so that construction and recording can proceed while the developer’s Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) with FEMA remains in second review.
The representative said building footprints will not change; the amendment is a replat to exclude floodplain lots from the first recorded portion. Staff noted the developer currently retains ownership of all Phase 2 parcels and that common areas would be dedicated to the homeowners association after townhome sales. Staff advised sending the plat to the county surveyor for a memo and forwarding the plat to the planning commission for preliminary plan review. Planning commission dates were discussed and staff urged the developer to submit materials promptly so administrative review and public‑hearing steps can proceed on schedule.
Next steps: staff will follow up with the developer to confirm dedication language and county surveyor comments; the case will go to planning commission for a recommendation before any final recording.
